Published

on



Japan has issued a major tsunami warning after a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the central region.

Residents in the coastal Noto area in Ishikawa prefecture were asked to “evacuate immediately to higher ground,” national broadcaster NHK said.

Authorities have warned of waves as high as 5m in Noto.

They also issued tsunami warnings for neighbouring Niigata and Toyama prefectures, where they said waves could reach 3m.

Public television flashed “EVACUATE” in big letters, urging residents to flee to higher ground despite the winter weather.

    震源から200kmは離れている地元でさえ震度4という威力。

    Huge mega-quake とでも言うのだろうか。

    それでも少し強くなれた。4回大規模な震災を経験してると慣れてくるもんだ。けど こわかった。

    震源地付近の方々の不安や恐怖は計り知れない。

    1日も早く落ち着いて過ごせる日が来ますことをお祈り致します。

    pray for ishikawa prefecture.

    日本人です。石川県では震度7の地震が起こり、その後震度5の地震が連続で起こりました。私は無事ですが、石川県では大きな被害がありました。建物の倒壊や津波などの被害がありました。今後も地震が石川で起こる可能性があります。安否不明の方も多くいます。少しでも早く安全な環境が戻りますように。

    The inefficient rescue methods of the Japanese government have led to an increasing number of earthquake victims not receiving effective assistance during the golden rescue period. We strongly condemn this lazy behavior of ignoring the lives of disaster victims and condemn the Japanese government Behaviors that do not value human rights.

    日本語ですみません。
    地震で被災した日本の富山県の者です。
    幸いにも自分の地域は電気も通っており、物資は少ない状況ですが何とか生活できております。
    しかし、生まれて初めて体感する大きな揺れ、続く余震に今回被災した人々は不安な日々を送っています。

    そんな中でBBCさん、現地入りされたニュースを拝見させていただきました。日本のテレビよりも、国民が知りたい情報をたくさん知らせていると、多くの日本国民が賞賛しています。
    被害状況が明確になるにつれて、たくさんの人が亡くなり、私も好きだった石川県の能登の朝市通りが焼け野原になっておりとても悲しい気持ちです。
    新年早々悲惨な状況ですが、ボランティア受け入れとなりましたら物資を持って少しでも助けになれたらと思っています。
    これからも正確な情報を日本にも提供してください。よろしくお願いいたします。

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
